Geoff Lee

"Glass consumes my life. I love everything about the process: the heat, the fire, the preparation, and the everyday activities of the studio. I am equally fascinated with the progression of creating the final product. Glass has a distinctively unique language. The material can be light or heavy, transparent or opaque, reflective or matte; these paradoxical characteristics contribute to producing beautiful and interesting glass art."

Geoff Lee's goal as an artist is to explore all of the incredible possibilities of glass and to further develop his voice with this medium. He believes there are three steps to the art-making process: First, the art must be conceived; second it must be executed; and third, it must be presented to the public. It is not just about having a vision, it is about exposing that vision to others.

Raised in Hawaii and surrounded by a multi-ethnic family and community, Geoff Lee combines color and form to reflect the melting pot of his surroundings. Inspired by his Asian heritage and his home in Hawaii, he uses traditional Italian glassblowing techniques to create unique and distinct artwork that could only come from Hawaii.
